Product details
Overview
74HCT125D-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad 3-state buffer/line driver with TTL-compatible inputs, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivering propagation delay as low as 12 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature - used in automotive body control modules for bidirectional data bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT125D-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT125D-Q100 pinout, 74HCT125D-Q100 application, or 74HCT125D-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 3-state output timing (enable/disable times ≤ 42 ns), SO14 package thermal derating (10.1 mW/K above 100 °C), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood electronics.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent non-inverting buffers, each with active-low 3-state enable (nOE) controlling high-impedance output release. Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It operates within JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) voltage standards, supports CMOS-level outputs, and features ESD protection per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 (HBM > 2000 V) and JS-002 (CDM > 1000 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V automotive logic rails and stable operation across battery voltage transients. |
| Propagation Delay | 12 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - enables reliable timing in high-speed digital buses up to ~40 MHz. |
| Enable/Disable Time | ≤ 42 ns (VCC = 4.5 V) - guarantees fast bus arbitration and clean signal gating in multiplexed communication paths. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA (VOH/VOL at VCC = 4.5 V) - sufficient to drive standard 50 pF loads and multiple CMOS/TTL inputs without external buffering. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - matches TTL logic levels, enabling direct interface with legacy microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - validated for engine bay, transmission control, and ADAS sensor interface locations. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 - qualified for automotive applications requiring full temperature range compliance and extended reliability testing. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT125D-Q100 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | nOE (active-low output enable) | Independent control per buffer; HIGH forces output into high-impedance state, enabling bus sharing. |
| 2, 5, 9, 12 | nA (data input) | Non-inverting input for each buffer; accepts TTL-level signals directly without level-shifting. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | nY (data output) | CMOS-compatible buffered output; drives loads up to ±6 mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing. |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground for all I/O and supply; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
| 14 | VCC | Primary power supply; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per AEC standard. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with legacy MCU GPIOs. |
| Clamp diode protected inputs | Enables safe connection to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors - critical for mixed-voltage subsystems. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 24 pF - reduces switching current and heat generation in high-frequency bus applications (e.g., LIN or local sensor networks). |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - suppresses false triggering from EMI in electrically noisy vehicle environments. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Unit (BCU) | Instrument Cluster Data Multiplexing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT125PW-Q100 | TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) package; 7.3 mW/K thermal derating above 81 °C vs. SO14's 10.1 mW/K above 100 °C. | Better PCB space efficiency but lower thermal mass; requires tighter layout control for high-power density designs. | Select for compact layouts where board area is constrained and peak ambient stays below 81 °C. |
| SN74HCT125QPWRQ1 | Texas Instruments variant; identical electrical specs but different AEC-Q100 test report structure and packaging traceability. | Same functional behavior; TI's qualification documentation may align better with OEM-specific audit requirements. | Choose when TI's supply chain integration or documentation format is mandated by Tier-1 procurement policy. |
Compared with 74HCT125PW-Q100, the D-package offers superior thermal stability above 100 °C and easier manual inspection; versus SN74HCT125QPWRQ1, it provides identical performance with Nexperia's optimized SO14 footprint and broader distribution channel support.

FAQ
Is 74HCT125D-Q100 pin-compatible with standard 74HCT125 devices?
Yes - it shares identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and functional behavior with industry-standard 74HCT125 logic, including the same SO14 (SOT108-1) footprint and 14-pin assignment. The "-Q100" suffix denotes AEC-Q100 qualification but does not alter physical or logical interface.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
74HCT125D-Q100 is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance per output, with propagation delay and transition time specifications guaranteed under those conditions. Driving >50 pF may increase delay and reduce edge rate, requiring verification via board-level signal integrity analysis.
Can this buffer operate at 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74HCT125D-Q100 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. For 3.3 V systems, use the 74HC125D-Q100 variant (CMOS-input version), which supports 2.0 V to 6.0 V but requires compatible input voltage levels.
Does the device require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on nOE pins?
No - nOE inputs have internal weak pull-downs (typical IIK = ±20 μA at VI < −0.5 V or > VCC + 0.5 V), but for deterministic startup behavior, a 10 kΩ external pull-down is recommended to ensure outputs remain disabled until firmware asserts enable control.
